  1. I think the big old elephant type tuners seem to suit JB's and PB's, so i'm happy to keep them on, even though the finish has aged a lot. Yep, this pickup. It was dead, and in trying to fix it, the end of the windings came off the hot and ground wires, and when you see the width of the copper winding, its time to give in. I sent Andy a dead pup, copper wires trailing. Came back in a couple of days all fixed. The guys a star i tell ya. Unlike yours, I like the neck on mine, as it seems to be very slim, which i prefer. By the way, take a photo of your Col. decal, as there's plenty of guys on Evilbay that will knock a copy out for you. Just make sure you get a Waterslide decal and not Vinyl or similar
  2. I've had this for a few years now, and simply havent got time /patience / and no longer a shed, to do something with it so its time to shift it on. All i managed to do was strip, sand down and apply rosewood stain, and fit ( new ) Tuners. From what i can remember, its either a Cimar or CSL , from the 70's for sure, and obviously a JB copy. The pickups i think might be KA but not positive. I dont even know if they still work, as its been in a cupboard for some time. There's no nut on the neck either. Headstock has been woodfilled at the top edge. To my knowledge, the neck was not warped at all. There's a fair bit of work to do, i guess, so priced it accordingly I'm only after £25 for each , bottom line. prefer collection, in oxfordshire as i'd worry about sending a neck in the post. It wouldnt be so bad if it was on a bass and in a case. I would post if anyone's interested enough , though, say £10 for both or £6 each
  3. You got different tuners on yours ? Perhaps mine were changed in the past - I wouldnt know, as thats how it came
  4. I changed the bridge and lectronics on mine, so i would imagine they're the same, just different necks
  5. Thanks mate - original pickups too. One of which was rewound by Andy at Wizard. ABM bridge + Varitone electronics switching. Had some minor fret levelling / polishing done It sounds bloody good
  6. yowser - by jove - i think i may have breakthrough no one panic!!
  7. I cant sem to get rid of this pedal making my cabs fart on the open E / F / F# / G , no matter what i turn off and turn down Only having the PDF doesn help matters because its not as easy to navigate as a proper manual. I've done a set to default factory action, so that i'm starting with a clean palette, but next to my old Korg AX3000B , this thing is a night mare to sort out. The interface is a bit pathetic, and buried menus have me constantly unplugging it and using straight bass into amp instead I expect to read that this is a doddle of a pedal to program for anyone with a modicum of IQ, but i'm thicker than a whale omlette. I suspect that i really need the the simplicity of seperate pedals, but to replace what this Zoom has with seperates would cost a mini fortune Any tips to get me started will get you a Shrimp Cocktail in the post

  12. [size=4][b]EDITED - NOW WITH FREE CASE AS I WANT SOMETHING DECENT TO SHIP THE BASS IN. [/b][/size] Fender Squire VJM Fretless with custom work done by RP Guitars [url="http://www.rptech.f2s.com/"]http://www.rptech.f2s.com/[/url] Work involved machining up a brass nut from billet bar, fitting a heavier duty bridge, ( i already had that from another bass ) routing for 2 custom Aaron Armstrong humbuckers, wiring up the switching and pots. The Aaron Armstrong humbuckers have 6 tags, permitting Series, Single Coil and Parallel switching, plus a separate earthing tag mounted on the underside of the sealed pickup bodies. Both bridge and neck pups have the same Series / Single Coil / Parallel switching. The original Vol Vol Tone remains Currently strung with DR Red Devils, hence the weird colour ( missing red coating - it happens to all DR coloured strings ) There is a small mark on the back of the body ( in photo ) There's also a small mark on the front of the body, ( in photo ) Pricing for a one off isnt easy, but starting at around £150 for a standard used VJM, plus the custom work which totalled £275 ...Cost of pups, routing, on-on-on switches, brass nut, wiring, set up etc, works out to £425 , so i'll knock £50 off the the cost of the custom stuff £375 ( £150 + £225 for custom work ) ..... [size=5][b]NOW £325[/b][/size] Prefer collection, ( Oxfordshire ) but postage is ok, but i'll need to source some proper packing. Fully insured only, about £25-£30 Pics of the AA pups underneath Some sound clips , myself and pal on guitar , just noodling - nowt special [url="http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8750150"]http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8750150[/url] [url="http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7509632"]http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7509632[/url] [url="http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7509629"]http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7509629[/url] [url="http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8071360"]http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8071360[/url]
